Hydroculture pot

Abstract

Disclosed is a hydroculture pot that can store an optimum amount of water at which a water level is appropriate for a depth of roots. A soil culture pot, having a supply and drainage hole that enables supplying and draining of water in a bottom portion, is used and a partitioning wall, vertically partitioning an interior of the pot main body in a watertight manner to store an optimum amount of water at which a water level is appropriate for a depth of roots of a spider plant, is disposed at an inner circumferential surface of a pot main body. An interior of the pot main body is filled with hydroculture soil and the optimum amount of water is stored in the pot main body so that the water level appropriate for the depth of roots of spider plant planted in the pot main body is a maximum level.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A hydroculture pot for a hydroculture plant comprising:
 a cylindrical pot main body having an inner circumferential surface defining a diameter, the cylindrical pot having a top edge and a bottom, the diameter of the cylindrical pot increasing from the bottom to the top edge; and 
 a partitioning wall vertically partitioning the inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical pot main body and defining a first cavity above the partitioning wall and a second cavity below the partitioning wall, 
 wherein the partitioning wall is elastic and slightly larger than an inner diameter of a partition portion of the cylindrical pot main body, 
 wherein the partitioning wall is configured to be press-contacted by a frictional force in a state of applying a contact pressure with the inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical pot main body, 
 wherein the partition portion is positionable in a plurality of different positions in a vertical direction with respect to the inner circumferential surface of the pot main body to thereby provide a plurality of different sizes of the first cavity above the partitioning wall, 
 wherein the partitioning wall is impermeable to water and engages the inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical pot main body in a watertight manner to prevent liquids from moving from one of the first and second cavities to the other of the first and second cavities, and 
 wherein the first cavity defines a volume corresponding to an amount of liquid deemed necessary for approximately one week to two weeks of growth of the hydroculture plant. 
 
     
     
       2. The hydroculture pot according to  claim 1 , wherein the cylindrical pot main body comprises a soil culture pot. 
     
     
       3. The hydroculture pot according to  claim 1 , wherein the partitioning wall is removable from the cylindrical pot main body and is made reconstructable in the cylindrical pot main body after being removed from the cylindrical pot main body. 
     
     
       4. A hydroculture pot comprising:
 a cylindrical pot main body having an inner circumferential surface defining a diameter, the cylindrical pot having a top edge and a bottom, the diameter of the cylindrical pot increasing from the bottom to the top edge; 
 a first partitioning wall which is substantially rectangular shaped and which is vertically engageable with the inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical pot main body to partition the cylindrical pot main body into first and second horizontal sections; and 
 second partitioning walls having substantially arcuate shapes in accordance with the shapes of the first and second horizontal sections to vertically partition the first and second horizontal sections of the cylindrical pot main body and defining a first cavity above each of the second partitioning walls and a second cavity below each of the second partitioning walls, 
 wherein the first partitioning wall is elastic and slightly larger than an inner dimension of a first partition portion, 
 wherein the second partitioning walls are elastic and slightly larger than an inner dimension of second partition portions of respective ones of the first and second horizontal sections defined by the cylindrical pot main body and the first partitioning wall, 
 wherein the first partitioning wall is configured to be press-contacted with the inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical pot main body, 
 wherein the second partitioning walls are configured to be press-contacted with the inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical pot main body and the first partitioning wall, 
 wherein the first partition portion for the first partitioning wall is positionable in a plurality of different positions in a horizontal direction with respect to the inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical pot main body, 
 wherein each second partition portion for the second partitioning walls respectively is positionable in a plurality of different positions in a vertical direction with respect to the inner surface of the first and second horizontal sections to thereby provide a plurality of different sizes of the first cavities above the second partitioning walls, 
 wherein the first partitioning wall and the second partitioning walls are impermeable to water, the first partitioning wall engages the inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical pot main body in a watertight manner and the second partitioning walls engage the inner surface of the cylindrical pot main body and the first partitioning wall in a watertight manner to prevent liquids from moving from one of the first and second cavities to the other of the first and second cavities, and 
 wherein each of the first cavities defines a volume corresponding to an amount of liquid deemed necessary for approximately one week to two weeks of growth of the hydroculture plant. 
 
     
     
       5. The hydroculture pot according to  claim 4 , wherein the cylindrical pot main body comprises a soil culture pot. 
     
     
       6. The hydroculture pot according to  claim 4 , wherein the partitioning wall is removable from the cylindrical pot main body and is made reconstructable in the cylindrical pot main body after being removed from the cylindrical pot main body.
